Amakuru! Welcome to Grow Movement Rwanda, the land of a thousand hills, where we first started working in 2012. Rwanda has a young, growing, and vibrant entrepreneurship scene that is actively encouraged by Government particularly in areas of service, IT and agri -business. The private sector, especially small and medium enterprises are seen as key to solving high youth unemployment in Rwanda. Entrepreneurship is now part of the school curriculum where young people are actively encouraged to start their own businesses.

The GROW team is based in the capital city of Kigali and work along side 'Educat', our Danish NGO partner organisation specialising in start up training. Our clients come from a range of industries across Service, Agriculture and Manufacturing, including web designers, smoothie makers, chicken & pig farming, fashion designers and food processers. Our entrepreneurs speak mainly local language, Kinyarwanda and can converse in English and French. Many of our clients are either just completing their business plan or are new start up companies.
